Myrtle was born and raised in Central Butte, Saskatchewan which she enjoyed very much until the age of 18 when she moved to Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.
She worked as a stenographer until she met and married Bill in 1956. After their wedding they moved to Calgary to start their life together. Myrtle built many strong friendships over the years in her Brentwood community. She was an avid walker and whist player with her community friends. Her smile will be missed.
